NY man hospitalized after being shot by deputy

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities plan to release more details on the shooting of a 22-year-old armed shoplifting suspect by a sheriff’s deputy in suburban Rochester.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has scheduled a news conference for 3:30 p.m. Thursday, a day after police say Vincenzo Zagari of Ogden was shot in Pittsford.

Deputies say Zagari had shoplifted from a Wegmans supermarket and was driving away in a stolen vehicle when he hit a parked car. Police say he tried to carjack a vehicle at gunpoint before running across the road to a bank, where the deputy shot him in the chest when he displayed a weapon.

Zagari is listed in guarded condition Thursday at a Rochester hospital.
